The easiest example is probably similar to an objective out of the loop post response.

Does Bazzite let you play games that use anticheat?

Switching to linux means you can’t play 60% of games that use anticheat.

I still use reddit and had not heard of this either.

Apparently “it was a full blown movement that rocked reddit”. Where on reddit? I feel like they couldn’t point it out.

Doesn’t it work?

I have a block button on mine, but I have no idea who this person is.

I feel like demos have become longer recently than they used to be. It used to be that you could only get through the equivalent of a level or two, now it’s more like they last up to 2 hours - the same period you might play and steam refund a game to demo it that way.

Seems like a very healthy development in gaming.

Didn’t age verification - also recently implemented - cause youtube views to drop?

Here’s a case of it very well explained.

I often wonder how ads of any kind have ever worked, unless it was an ad for something we had already planned on buying.

Nobody likes that anti-cheat is intrusive, most people just understand that it’s a necessary evil to not have cheaters in their games.

Each to their own obviously, if you don’t want install the anticheat to play the game, it’s a moot point.

I do primarily play games, but it only takes one program to not work for the whole OS to be a failure for that use case.

And then over time, another program, then another program. It either all works or none of it does.

I almost forgot to mention, because I always forget, if you play games that use anti-cheat, you are almost certainly ruled out, even if the ones you play are supported, because later you might want to play something that isn’t supported - and again, that’s all it takes to not be suitable. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
